However, several green bamboos suddenly grew between the two of them, with branches and leaves spreading horizontally. Each bamboo leaf was as sharp as a blade. The short-bearded man who rushed towards Qianye was startled for a moment, and the strong instinct made him stop and retreat.
He avoided this clump of green bamboo that looked extremely dangerous. Qianye saw through that it was just an illusion and was not driven by instinct. However, it looked like Song Zining had created this clump of bamboo. Now that he had arrived, Qianye restrained himself.
Angry, don't take action anymore.
Song Zining hurried over, and as soon as he arrived, the short-bearded man shouted sullenly: "Seventh Young Master, why do you want to stop me from taking down this lawless maniac?"
Song Zining's face was obviously displeased, but he still restrained himself and said: "General Yan may have misjudged the person. This is the leader of Dark Fire, how can he be a lawless maniac?"
"Who is the leader of Dark Fire? I, Yan Ding, only recognize you, the Seventh Young Master, here."
Song Zining did not expect that Yan Ding would not give him any face at all. No matter how well-mannered he was, his expression changed a little. However, he still maintained a smile with the restraint of a descendant of an aristocratic family and explained: "This is the leader of Anhuo, Master Qianye.
.I also do some chores under him."
Qianye is a name that almost everyone in the imperial military knows. He defeated the witch in one battle at the Unfallen City, and then broke into the military stronghold angrily, kidnapped Nighteye from the sailor Li Feng, and escaped from the god general. In a short time,
, many people believe that Qianye is not inferior to Zhao Jundu in terms of talent and current combat power.
Song Zining announced Qianye's name, hoping to shock Yan Ding and at least prevent him from acting recklessly.
However, Yan Ding sneered and said without giving any face, "Qianye? Who is Qianye? I have never heard of this name."
At this point, Song Zining couldn't bear it any longer, his face turned cold, and he said: "General Yan, it's meaningless to talk like this. After all, this dark fire belongs to Qianye. I will give you some territory for you to occupy, and I don't intend to invite a few people back.
An uncle."
Yan Ding was startled, as if he didn't expect Song Zining to speak like this, and said: "The Seventh Young Master is really sharp."
Song Zining put away his folding fan, laughed dryly, and said: "Anyway, I have been in the army, and I have seen a lot of things in the world with King Qingyang." The implication is that I am deeply rooted in the army, isn't it?
Very annoying.
Yan Ding understood the meaning, but didn't buy it, saying: "It's a pity that King Qingyang is no longer in the army."
Song Zining said calmly: "Although he has left, if he says something, who in the army dares not to listen?"
Yan Ding's face looked a little ugly. Song Zining was right. Although the imperial military was powerful, it still needed the support of the aristocratic family and the King of Heaven in major battles. Just like the Battle of Floating Land, without Zhang Boqian and Zhiji
With the king in charge and the major families dividing the war zones, the military alone would never be able to launch a battle of this scale.
Most of the top powerful men in the empire are distributed in the imperial family and aristocratic families. The only one who truly belongs to the military force is the Changsheng King. Strictly speaking, the Changsheng King is not entirely a member of the military, at most he can only be considered half.
For a long time, a group of young forces in the military have hated this situation and have gradually become the backbone of the imperial party.
Yan Ding sneered and said: "Qi Shao is right. King Qingyang's battle prowess is unparalleled, and others naturally dare not disobey him. However, it seems that the relationship between His Highness and the Song clan is not harmonious. It seems a bit far-fetched for Qi Shao to count himself as His Highness's person."
?”
Song Zining smiled lightly and said: "What happened to the Song Clan has nothing to do with me. But if I want to give you a big deal, if I am willing to serve, I'm afraid not many people in the empire will be willing to accept it."
Yan Ding was speechless for a moment. Song Zining had already shown his unparalleled talent in military strategy, and his personal cultivation had not fallen behind. Although he was not as sharp as Zhao Jundu, he was recognized as a person who could be promoted to the rank of a god general. Such a person would be willing to spend money.
solicit.
Thinking of this, Yan Ding's face calmed down a little and said: "I naturally know that Qi Shao is a great talent. But Qi Shao is such a person, why do you have to hang out with Qianye? With all due respect, Qi Shao does this,
I’m afraid it will destroy its future.”
Qianye had been silent at the side. Now when he heard Yan Ding mention his name, he said: "Now that you know who I am, you dared to attack me just now. Do you think you have lived too long, or do you think you can survive?"
Did any of my men survive three minutes?"
Yan Ding immediately became furious and shouted: "How dare a bastard vampire speak such arrogant words! If Lu Shuai hadn't shown mercy back then, how could you have escaped from the Unfallen City? It's just a matter of luck that you didn't die, but you dared to come out and be rampant. I really thought that
If you hide in a neutral place, the empire will have nothing to do with you, right?"
At this point, Yan Ding thought of something, sneered and said: "That vampire bitch was hit by General Li's Chaos Mill, and she will become a cripple even if she doesn't die. What's the use of rescuing her? She has long been turned into a corpse now."
Alright?"
Qianye's face gradually darkened, but before he could get angry, Song Zining shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
Yan Ding turned around and said, "What advice does Qi Shao have?"
Song Zining took a deep breath and said, "You are still really not afraid of death!"
Yan Ding said: "I am a general of the empire. Seeing as he is like this, he still wants to return to the empire, right? Does he dare to kill me? Isn't he afraid that he will lose his way back?"
Qianye patted Song Zining on the shoulder and said, "Are you still trying to persuade me to come back now?"
Song Zining's face was livid, he pointed at Yan Ding's nose and cursed: "If you ruin this important matter for me, I will make you miserable! The military department did not send you here to disrupt the situation! If you do this again, you will
Get out of here!"
Yan Ding turned around and said to the soldiers gathered behind him: "Did everyone hear this? They don't welcome us now, let's go!"
Those soldiers were all arrogant, and they immediately applauded. At this moment, many dark fire mercenaries gathered behind Qianye and Song Zining, and they all made loud noises. Many of them started to scold Yan Ding directly.
Song Zining tapped the palm of his hand with a folding fan and said: "You should all know what my identity is. If you want to leave, you can leave the battleship. Also, I have to say something unpleasant, you can get out of here, but you may not be able to get out of the city.
Even if Nan Qing can be rescued, none of you can even think of returning to the empire."
Yan Ding was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he said: "Young Master Qi, I am a general of the empire. No matter how smart you are, you can't bear the crime of openly harming the general of the empire, right?"
Song Zining said: "Delaying the opportunity to fight is a serious crime. If such a big thing is delayed now, let alone you Yan Ding can't afford it, even if Lu Junyi is here, I forgive him and he can't afford it. These battleships belong to the empire.
, you are not strict about it."
Yan Ding was still furious, but the soldiers behind him were a little shaken. Song Zining saw it and said again: "Although I am here, the empire has not given up. Now behind me are the people in the palace.
Even if you do something, you won't necessarily be unjust. Haha, at least the man behind me is not a has-been marshal."
Yan Ding stopped and said, "What does Qi Shao mean?"
Song Zining did not hide anything, and said: "A former marshal like Lu Junyi who has rubbed shoulders with the generals has long since exhausted his potential and has no chance of making any further progress. If the superiors hadn't been thinking about his early achievements, he would still be able to get through.
Now? Haha, who do you think he can hide what he did?"
Yan Ding's face turned blue and white, but he didn't know how to respond to these words. The officers and soldiers behind him also looked at each other, and their aura had already weakened by seven or eight points. Who was Song Zining, he would not talk nonsense on such a matter.
Then listen to what he means
, Lu Junyi obviously did something inappropriate, but the imperial family did not pursue him for the sake of his past achievements. Such a person, whether in the political arena or the military, naturally cannot have the same influence as the top ten marshals currently in office.
Comparable.
Song Zining pointed at Qianye and said: "During the Battle of the Unfallen City, Commander Lu failed to keep Qianye. Qianye is here now. You can give Commander Lu a message. If he wants to, he can come here and fight with him."
How about one more battle in Qianye, where life and death are determined by destiny?"
Yan Dingxian didn't believe it and asked, "Does the Seventh Young Master think he can fight with Commander Lu?"
Song Zining did not answer, but said to Qianye: "Qianye, what do you think?"
Qianye's thoughts returned to that night. After a moment, he sighed softly and said: "The matter is over, and there is no point in killing him."
Yan Ding's expression changed, but in the end he still looked unconvinced, and just said: "Since the Seventh Young Master said this, I will naturally cooperate in this battle."
After that, he turned around and entered the courtyard, shouting: "You are all looking at the excitement, come in! The sentry has also been withdrawn, it is embarrassing to leave it alone."
Song Zining glanced at Yan Ding's back, waved the Dark Fire mercenaries to disperse, and pulled Qianye towards the Dark Fire headquarters. After entering Song Zining's office, Qianye asked: "Where did these people come from?
"
Song Zining said: "You must have been able to tell that they are all members of the imperial military. Yan Ding is the commander of the imperial fleet squadron, which is the main fleet. He led the advance fleet to arrive first this time, preparing to seize the passage.
I let them stationed in Dark Fire to hide their whereabouts. Of course, this can only be hidden from Yong Ye, not those local snakes in the neutral land."
"It's not like they're hiding their whereabouts," Qianye said.
"Sooner or later there will be a fight, and it doesn't matter whether you can hide it or not. People from various aristocratic families in the empire have already arrived one after another, faster than the military headquarters. What really needs to be hidden are the ones they brought
Battleship."
"You called me over in such a hurry, are you about to start a fight?"
"The general direction of the passage has been determined, and we are just waiting for the final detailed inspection. But this location is very tricky." Song Zining opened the map, pointed at it, and said: "Based on my inference, the entrance to this passage is probably right here.
!”
Qianye glanced around and saw that where Song Zining was pointing was Tingchao City.
Qianye and Tingchao City have dealt with each other more than once. There are as many masters as clouds and strong men as rain in the city. The power of the city lord is even more earth-shattering. If not for their good luck that night, Qianye and Ji Tianqing might have fallen into neutral.
place.
The entrance to this passage is actually in Tingchao City. No wonder Song Zining finds it difficult.
